TRINITY – The Trinity City Council on Tuesday night sided with truck drivers, putting in a system that will allow current residents who have tractor-trailers to park on their own property. During its monthly meeting, which was standingroom only, the City Council voted 6-2 to allow truck drivers who own land in Trinity to get a permit from the city that will enable them to park their tractor-trailers on their own property. Under the approved system, truck drivers will have 30 days to get the permit from the city. After 30 days, permits will not be issued and truck drivers who don’t have one will not be able to park on their own land in Trinity. The goal of the sys-

Trinity Council sides with truckers on parking tem is to eventually phase out tractor-trailers after the ownership of property changes hands. Despite truck drivers still being allowed to park on their property, tractor-trailers will still not be able to park on streets and right-of-ways, said Joe Rainey, the city’s code enforcement officer. Councilman Kelly Grooms made the motion to approve the system, which was seconded by Councilwoman Kristen Varner. Council members Karen Bridges and Tyler Earnst voted against the system. The City Council made the decision after holding a public hearing, which had several to speak for and against a trucking ordinance. On one side, the neighbors of truckers said tractor-trailers were a nuisance. Truckers, mean-

while, said they wanted to protect their livelihood, saying that having to park their tractor-trailers in other areas besides their homes causes the chance of trucks being burglarized. The City Council decided to nix proposals that were introduced at its retreat last month. City staff had introduced amendments to the trucking ordinance – which was initially approved in August – that would have prohibited trucks and trailers from being parked in certain zoning districts depending on what type of street frontage they were parked in. An additional proposal would have allowed truck drivers to get reclassified, enabling them to park on their own property if they met a certain criteria. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

City plans to bulldoze 4 houses BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council took action this week to address blighted properties. Ordinances were adopted to demolish four houses that have been deemed substandard based on numerous code violations. An additional dwelling was ordered to be vacated and closed. The council will address the issue in more depth after city officials provide an updated list of potentially substandard properties on which the city has been keeping tabs. “We’re getting pressure from constituents who want to know what’s being done with the house next to them. Several properties have been on our list a lot longer than these five,” said Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “I don’t quite know what to tell people about some of these older proper-

Commissioners reach out to towns BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Another water main. More sewer line branches. Secure funding for libraries. The problems may sound the same for the small towns in Guilford County, but Guilford County Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston offered a different way Tuesday to reach solutions during a gathering of public officials from across the county. Alston said commissioners will be listening more closely to the concerns of town residents. Each commissioner will be an “ambassador” for the towns in each of the county’s nine commissioners’ districts. The board also has two at-large members. Commissioners also may spon-

TOWNS

–

These towns get a share of the $64 million in annual sales tax collections in Guilford County – Gibsonville, Jamestown, Oak Ridge, Pleasant Garden, Sedalia, Stokesdale, Summerfield and Whitsett.

sor “town hall” meetings to collect the concerns of residents, he said. Alston took advantage of an ethics training session for public officials to arrange the session with town officials at the County Agricultural Center. Oak Ridge Mayor Ray Combs sent a message about expanded water service. “We need to discuss this to see if

it is a doable thing,” he said. In Pleasant Garden, poor draining soil does not support septic tanks well. A nail salon had to move out of town because the septic system could not handle the waste. Town officials want help with building a sewer line. Although the county does not build water or sewer lines, it does provide bond financing for infrastructure. Many suburban areas depend upon the cities of Greensboro and High Point to provide water and sewer. “You need to squeak louder about this,” Alston said. “There is a way to solve most problems.” “My concern is that no one from Greensboro is here to hear this,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. Alston also alerted the town of-

ficials to the county’s budget planning. “We are trying to do more with less, and we know you may have a tight budget and may have to raise taxes,” Alston said. “We do not want to cut any services that may hurt you.” The county provides several services, including planning and building inspections, for the towns under contract. The county also supports libraries. County officials have boosted the proposed consolidation of county planning and inspections offices with those in Greensboro. “But that should have no impact on service delivery in the towns,” said Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point.

Several people occupy the unit, and they will be relocated by the city’s Community Development & Housing Department at a cost not to exceed $1,800. The other four properties were ordered for demolition because of their deteriorated condition and associated blight on the neighborhood.

Arrest of No. 2 Taliban leader raises hopes

BRIEFS

3 world powers criticize Iranian enrichment VIENNA – Russia, the U.S. and France have urged Iran to stop enriching uranium to higher levels and suggested the project reinforces suspicions that Tehran is seeking to make nuclear weapons. The joint statement reflects unified Russian and Western opposition to Iran’s increased enrichment. Shrugging off international concerns, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the country was moving ahead to expand its enrichment capacities by installing more advanced machinery at its main enrichment facility.

ISLAMABAD (AP) – The capture of the Afghan Taliban’s No. 2 commander by a joint CIA and Pakistani team dealt a fresh blow to insurgents under U.S. attack and raised hopes Pakistani security forces are ready to deny Afghan militant leaders a safe haven.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar’s arrest in the port city of Karachi may also push other insurgent leaders thought to be sheltering on this side of the border toward talks with the Afghan government – a development increasingly seen as key to ending the eight-year war.

Marines link up in Afghan Taliban stronghold MARJAH, Afghanistan – Marines moving by land from the north linked up Tuesday with U.S. units that have faced nearly constant Taliban attack in the four days since they were dropped by helicopter into this insurgent stronghold in southern Afghanistan. Also Tuesday, U.S. artillery fired non-lethal smoke rounds to disperse Taliban fighters in Marjah – the first time cannons have been used in the fight to drive the militants from their logistical and opium poppy-smuggling base.

Spain to take 5 inmates from Guantanamo MADRID – Spain said Monday it is willing to take in five inmates from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, not just the two it had announced last month. Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos told reporters at a breakfast meeting that the inmates will not pose a security threat. The transfers, he said, “will be done with all the legal guarantees so as to defend the security situation that our country requires.”

Clinton warns of Mideast nuclear arms race JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told an audience of Saudi college women on Tuesday that it is the shared responsibility of Iran’s neighbors to ensure it does not get nuclear weapons. Her blunt message about avoiding a nuclear arms race that Saudi Arabia might join was meant for a wider audience but its delivery by one of the West’s best-known women made a more subtle point.

Breast Enlargement Now Less Painful and A Great Time of Year To Do It Breast augmentation has, again, become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The silicon gel breast implant “ﬁasco” has faded (where it belongs,) and besides, we use saline implants most of the time anyway. Let’s talk about breast enlargement. When I am seeing a patient thinking of enlarging her breasts, the biggest reason she hasn’t already had the operation is usually the fear of pain. Now, pain is always an important reason. But, we have a great gadget to help with pain. The ON-Q Pain pump has been a true blessing for many of the painful operations we do. For instance, if you are considering a tummy tuck, we use it here too. This pump is like blowing up a balloon, except we use numbing medications (like

lidocaine which a dentist might use to numb your teeth.) The numbing ﬂuid is slowly passed through a small tube that we insert next to your breast implant. The implant is bathed in the lidocaine for TWO DAYS. WOW! The worst of the pain occurs in the ﬁrst two days, so you get help during the most painful time. We still give you narcotics, but narcotics sometime have side effects like nausea and constipation that obviously are less if you need less, and use less. Fantastic. So, what are you waiting for? Bathing suit season is coming soon. Having your surgery now is a good idea. The reason is that we are probably going to place the implant under the pectoralis (chest-come on, you can learn some anatomy too)

muscle. The thing about putting implants there is that it takes time for the pectoralis to stretch out. We need this stretching over weeks to months to allow the implant to lower itself into a correct position behind your breast. OK, what’s your excuse now? We can help you with the pain, and NOW is a great time to have breast augmentation. Get the body balance you want. I tell my patients we are in the Happy Business. And it’s true. Our breast enlargement patients are some of our happiest! Virgil V. Willard, II, MD

Let Trinity residents vote on truck parking rule This letter is to comment on Chester Ayers’ letter (Feb. 10, “Trinity Council is protecting residential areas”). As a resident of Trinity, I feel the ordinance against truck parking is a bit over-reaching to say the least. I have been against it from the beginning. It was brought before City Council without the public being informed ahead of time. Yes, the ad was in the paper telling of the meeting, but it was in such terms the ordinary person could not have recognized that their rights were being trampled upon. This is not only an inconvenience for drivers; it is extra cost to have vehicles stored and watched if their tractor is at another location. Besides, the city of Trinity does get to enjoy the taxes that are paid by the owners of the trucks. It takes all of us to make a community, each one doing our own part. If the majority of the citizens are for this ordinance, let the people decide by putting it to them in the proper way. We do not need for City Council to be making this decision for us; the people should be allowed to vote on it. The votes on this seem to be each council member’s own preference. Trinity is a good community.

YOUR VIEW

---

We need to worry more about the issues of garbage, recycling, finishing up the sewer system – things that matter. Let this issue be taken care of by each development according to its ordinances. These ordinances are very much open to interpretation. If the city of Trinity continues on this path without the people voting for this ordinance, it opens up discrimination lawsuits or the possibility of losing any revenue brought in by the taxing of these trucks, as they will no longer be allowed in the residential areas. I do not think it is worth the trouble it has caused and continues to cause. BARBARA C. JOHNSON Trinity

Hinson has qualifications needed to serve in Congress When asked to defend Latimer Alexander’s letter (Feb. 9) questioning Cathy Brewer Hinson’s voting record and district since 1992, I have a better answer than the question. Alexander should know better than to pick a fight with a woman, publicly, that

cannot be won with untruths and false information. When allowed by election laws to seek congressional office in any district one prefers – why would a conservative Republican choose to seek that office in a heavily Democratic, gerrymandered 12th District, when one has limited funds? Alexander’s “self-aggrandizement” knew the answer and reveals himself with expressions of “I,” “to me” and slanted facts. But, in all honesty, it is just an opinion. Howard Coble was quite impressed with “Dr. Cathy” (his words). She presented two plans that would gain all N.C. districts for the Republican Party. Three days later, he phoned her to inform “she would be bad for the Republican Party.” Weeks later, he called to offer an apology; an alternate plan was discussed for the Republican Party. Whereas, Coble might like Dr. Cathy, she represents the people, not the Republican Party. “Dr. Cathy” has a bachelor of arts in education with a minor in English, a master’s in education and a master’s and doctorate in business. She has the ability

to read and dissect, on an equal footing, with the Washington lawyers. She is a schoolteacher who wants to teach the Constitution to Congress and organize a staff of qualified school teachers who know how to get the answers and communicate with people. She wants to be a national voice to lead a constitutional amendment to force limits on Congress to stop spending, to cut taxes, to introduce a job incentive program with a three-year, $60,000 maximum limit, and promises to fight every day and will never, never quit!

ats off to the faculty, staff, parents and especially the students at Johnson Street Global Studies in High Point for their contributions to helping attain the Magnet Schools of America ranking among schools of excellence. Magnet Schools of America says it provides leadership for innovative instructional programs that promote equity, diversity and academic excellence for all students in public school choice programs. MSA sponsors programs, events, technical assistance, student scholarships, professional development and leadership through the National Institute for Magnet School Leadership (NIMSL). There are approximately 4,000 magnet and theme-based schools across the U.S. MSA also designated Jones Spanish Immersion Elementary, the Early College at Guilford, Weaver Academy and Washington Elementary as Guilford County magnet schools as schools of distinction, a recognition that Johnson Street Global Studies achieved last term. Schools are selected based on their commitment to high academic standards, curriculum innovation, successful desegregation/diversity efforts, specialized teaching staffs and parent and community involvement. The folks – students, parents, staff and faculty – at Johnson Street Global Studies definitely have their act together, and it paid off with the school of excellence designation. Guilford County Schools officials also deserve praise for attempts to sharpen the focus of magnet/choice programs at Montlieu and Parkview A+, a pair of schools in High Point on the district’s list of 10 low performing schools. And the district is considering making Allen Jay Middle School in High Point a dedicated middle school with special programs. GCS has 44 magnet and choice schools with 50 programs. If you desire to know more about GCS magnet/choice schools go to www.gcsnc.com/magnet. It’s a worthwhile trip.

But as a general rule, terminology reflects an attempt to individualize the subject and remove him or her from the cultural stigma attached to outdated words. Thus, the migration from â&#x20AC;&#x153;retard,â&#x20AC;? which reduces the subject to a faceless disability, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;person with an intellectual disability,â&#x20AC;? which allows for a life beyond the disability.

for the LGBTQQIAA community has been thrown over by many members for the less easily defined â&#x20AC;&#x153;queer,â&#x20AC;? in the interest of both saving time and including those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider themselves a member of any one category. Similarly, the now-common term â&#x20AC;&#x153;people of colorâ&#x20AC;? includes nonwhite people without creating an ugly and exclusionary black/white dichotomy. These motives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; individualization, inclusion, and delineation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; represent a movement toward a society that can hold a proper conversation about its problems. We must recognize what makes us most uncomfortable, acknowledge it with some semblance of grace, and talk about it without flinching. That means that when Rahm Emanuel uses the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;retarded,â&#x20AC;? we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it as an occasion to point fingers or call names, publicly or privately. We must use it as an opportunity to educate ourselves about something that is not part of the default, and subse-

quently create a civil discourse about the problem. The words we use arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just words, and their meanings do not evolve in a vacuum. They are indicators of the deeper divides within our country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the racism, the misogyny, the heterosexism, the classism and the ableism. They illustrate whether we consider the people we are talking about to be good, equal, normal human beings. When you use the politically correct terminology, you are saying: I am ready to listen to what you want. I consider you good enough, equal enough, normal enough to talk to. Only when we acknowledge our shortcomings can we begin to address them as a whole. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a philosophy. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t don it for convenience, to be slipped off among friends as easily as a mask. You must live it, gracefully and without flinching.

Making ends meet Coalition sponsors poverty simulation BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After a sparse supper Thursday, members of four High Point churches will take a look at what it is like for the 61,000 Guilford County residents who live in poverty. The Main Street Coalition of Churches will bring together 100 people to participate in a Poverty Simulation sponsored also by the United Way of Greater High Point.

POVERTY

–

Guilford County: In 2008, 13 percent of residents lived in poverty, according to a N.C. Justice Center report. Schools: Just about half of the 70,000 students in Guilford County Schools receive free or reduced-price lunches.

Simulation participants role-play the lives of lowincome families, from single parents trying to care for their children to senior citizens trying to maintain their self-sufficiency on

Social Security. The task of each family is to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities during the simulation, while interacting with representatives of various community resources, also role-played by participants. Following the meager meal of bread, water, and soup, the simulation will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at First Presbyterian Church at 918 North Main St. “Now more than ever in our lifetime, each day we are likely to encounter an individual who is facing a crisis, either due to a job loss, reduced hours/ benefits, loss of health care, raising grandkids

or facing a foreclosure or bankruptcy,” said Bobby Smith, president of the United Way of Greater High Point. The number of households receiving food stamps was up 24 percent in Guilford County to 66,300 households in September 2009 from 2008, according to the same 2008 N.C. Justice Center report that estimated local poverty. The federal poverty level for a family of three is $17,500. First Baptist Church, First United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and St. Mary’s Episcopal Church will participate.

WHO’S NEWS

“Several members of the coalition and other representatives of the participating churches have already participated in a simulation,” said Paul Siceloff, chair of coalition of churches. “Their experiences led us to believe this would be a valuable learning experience for us as we seek to provide community service and outreach. “Our hope is to deepen awareness in our own hearts and minds regarding the challenges faced by individuals and families in our community who live in poverty.”

Trinity officials are considering changes to the city’s manufactured home ordinance that may require changes to existing mobile homes and park sites, including these on Meadowbrook Drive.

Trinity mulls changes to mobile home ordinance BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – Owners of mobile home parks in Trinity may soon have to comply with revisions proposed last week to the city’s manufactured home parks ordinance. Adam Stumb, Trinity’s planning and zoning administrator, presented several options for changing the city’s ordinance on mobile home parks during the City Council’s preagenda meeting last week. No action was taken by the City Council. According to Stumb, Trinity officials are discussing changes to the ordinance because they “want to improve the image and safety for all the existing parks” in the city. Stumb said all mobile

home parks are currently considered nonconforming because they were built prior to the city’s incorporation and do not meet all or sections of the city’s ordinance. Currently, the city’s ordinance allows existing manufactured homes in the park to be replaced as needed if they meet certain requirements. Nonconforming homes are not allowed to be replaced with other nonconforming homes. The ordinance also requires all manufactured homes to have underpinning installed, homes must be tied down and have wheels and axles removed. Trinity has 249 mobile homes in 24 different parks, according to city officials. Under the first option, revisions to the ordinance for new mobile home parks would include front

entrance and setback requirements, a requirement for two parking spaces for each mobile home and a sign requirement for each park. Existing and new mo-

Trinity has 249 mobile homes in 24 different parks, according to city officials. bile homes would also have to identify each home space and unit number. The city also would be able to do an annual inspection of all of the city’s mobile homes, according to the proposal. The first option would continue replacement

of homes in manufactured home parks. Two other options were presented to the City Council by staff. The second option requires every park to seek a rezoning and special permit to be compliant with the ordinance. If an owner did not want to pursue this, the park would continue until all units were removed from the property. A third option would allow parks to continue, but require all parks to be compliant with all or most of the requirements listed in the city’s ordinance prior to any replacements occurring. The consensus of the City Council, which is expected to consider the revisions next month, was to proceed with the first option, according to Stumb. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Davidson County to get big boost from rail plan ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – The latest round of federal stimulus money for high-speed rail in North Carolina includes spending in Davidson and Guilford counties. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office on Tuesday detailed statewide projects that will be funded through the recent $545 million re-

ceived by North Carolina under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The spending includes nearly $63 million for rail-related projects in the two Triad counties. The largest single local appropriation for $44.5 million involves installing double tracks and performing grade separa-

tions through Davidson County, according to the governor’s office. Other funding includes improving parking around the High Point train station, road realignments to accommodate railroad tracks in Guilford County and passenger train security improvements in both counties. The stimulus rail funding will support more

than 30 projects in 11 North Carolina counties, the governor’s office reports. “The federal high-speed rail grant to North Carolina will create or maintain as many as 4,800 private sector jobs in North Carolina over the next four years, with 1,000 of those expected this year alone as ready-to-go projects get under way,” ac-

McKinley Armstrong WASHINGTON, D.C. – Mckinley J.H. Armstrong, a championshipwinning basketball coach and long-time athletic director/physical education teacher, died Thursday in Washington. He was 81. A veteran of the Korean Conflict and a 1951 graduate of North Carolina Central University, Armstrong was born in Winston Salem on August 5, 1928 to Charles E. and Lula Belle Armstrong. His family moved to High Point when he was 3-years-old.After graduating from William Penn High School in 1958, he attended Central, an historically black college in Durham, N.C., where he played on the football team, was a drummer in the marching band and pledged Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. After obtaining his bachelors degree, he served in the Korean War as a sergeant in the United States Army before embarking on a teaching career. He later got his masters in education from George Washington University and did further study at the University of California, Los Angeles, University of Michigan and University of Virginia. Armstrong settled in the Washington area in 1965 and quickly became a force to be reckoned with in D.C. basketball circles. Under his leadership, the Mckinley Tech Trainers dominated area basketball throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Even before arriving in D.C., Armstrong had been on a winning streak. Before Armstrong arrived in Washington D.C., he worked in Front Royal, Va., at a small racially segregated black school called Criser High School, which was built in 1959 to keep blacks out of Warren County High School. While there, he

transformed a sports program that had been in its infancy into one that was respected throughout Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Armstrong had had a similar impact on a small, similarly segregated school in Southern Pines, N.C., formerly called West Southern Pines School where he taught a little bit of everything. He wrote the official school song, coached the football as well as the boys and girls basketball teams. For three straight years beginning in 1957, he took the men’s basketball team to the state championships while imparting important life lessons along the way. A long-time resident of Washington, D.C., Armstrong was a regular at early services at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church. A consummate family man, he is survived by his wife of 52 years, Annie C. Armstrong; five children – Chip Armstrong of Washington, D.C., Jenice Armstrong Turner of Burlington, N.J, Cheryl A. Capers of Dublin, Ohio, Carolyn Armstrong of Washington, D.C. and Marilyn Armstrong of Washington, D.C.; three siblings, Charles Armstrong of Oxon Hill, Louise Powell of Durham, N.C., and Georgia Bass of Temple Hills; five grandchildren; two sons-in-laws Dr. Quinn Capers IV and Cameron Turner, many loving inlaws as well nieces and nephews. A mass of Christian burial will take place Saturday (Feb. 20) at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, at 12th and Monroe streets NE in Washington, D.C., which he attended regularly. The funeral begins at 10 a.m. following a 9 a.m. viewing also at the church. Internment will immediately follow at Ft. Lincoln Cemetery in Brentwood, Md.

Roommate shares more than space in college dorm

ear Abby: I walked into my dorm room and heard my roommate having sex in the bathroom. I promptly called my girlfriend to ask if she wanted to meet me. No sooner had I entered her number than I heard my girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring tone coming from our bathroom. It was her. I clicked off, left the room and stayed at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the night. Please tell me, did I do the right thing and what do I do now? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Betrayed in Toronto Dear Betrayed: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry you walked out. You should have ordered a pizza and invited some (true) friends over so they could be there when the two of them emerged. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what to do now: Tell your girlfriend the romance is history, and start looking for a roommate with enough character and intellect that he understands boundaries. Dear Abby: I am shocked at what my young children tell me they have overheard while other â&#x20AC;&#x153;carpool momsâ&#x20AC;? chat on their cell phones as they ferry children back and forth to school. Cell phones have opened up a whole new adult world to children. My children have heard mothers badmouth teachers, other parents and even their

classmates. They have also had to listen to adult arguments that were none of their ADVICE business. In one extreme Dear case, my Abby son had â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; to endure hearing the carpool mom relay the circumstances of his own fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden death! Can you imagine how painful that was? Parents, please remember that little children have big ears and listen to everything you say! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hang It Up in Columbia, S.C. Dear Hang It Up: Thank you for writing. As tempted as I am to use your letter as yet another reason to discourage the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving, no state can legislate that its citizens use common sense. Too bad. Dear Abby: Please warn all those poor trusting souls out there never to give out their passwords â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ever! I work in an office with about 20 people, mostly middle-aged women, many of whom are going through divorces. I have noticed a disturbing trend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cyberstalking. Several of the women use

passwords provided to them in the past, when the relationships were good, to access personal data. One woman accesses her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account so they can all have a good laugh at how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggling financially. Another has her exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-mail and Facebook passwords and delights in telling everyone about the angry messages being left by the exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new girlfriend. The latest is the use of an ex-husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s password to spy on his online dating account. Tell your readers out there to safeguard their passwords. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them out no matter how much they trust someone. But if they do, when the relationship ends, change each and every one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no matter how inconsequential. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sick To My Stomach In Connecticut Dear Sick: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure your letter will cause readers of both sexes to do a double take. No one can ever be too careful with personal information. Revealing a password is like giving someone the keys to your house, your safe- deposit box and your diary. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dr. O.J. Freund DENTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Oswald John Freund, 88, died February 16, 2010. Memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Central United Methodist Church, Denton. Arrangements by Ridge Funeral Home, Asheboro.

Urinary tract infections common for women

ear Dr. Donohue: I would appreciate it if you would share knowledge on the causes of urinary tract infections. I am a female who’s prone to this problem. – T.J.

BLONDIE

You’re speaking of bladder infections. All women are prone to getting them. One reason is that women have shorter urethras than men. The urethra is the tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside. Furthermore, the external opening of a woman’s urethra is in an area with lots of bacteria. The bacteria can enter the urethra and climb upward into the bladder with ease. And sexual relations massage bacteria into the female urethra. It’s no wonder that women are subject to many bladder infections. Painful urination, frequent urination and a sense of urgency to empty the bladder are signs of a bladder infection. Women who have frequent infections have a number of ways to prevent them. One simple way is drinking more fluids to keep the bladder flushed out. Daily cranberry juice prevents the most common infecting bacterium from holding on to the bladder lining and increasing the chance for bacterial proliferation. Another way to handle recurrent infections is to treat an infection longer than

usual, taking an antibiotic for two to six weeks. Or a woman can have on hand an anHEALTH tibiotic to take at the Dr. Paul first signs Donohue of infection. ■■■ Emptying the bladder immediately after intercourse and then taking an antibiotic can stop a bladder infection from taking hold. And finally, some doctors prescribe a low dose of an antibiotic for their female patients who have one infection after another. The patients take it for months at a time. Dear Dr. Donohue: I had an ultrasound of my kidneys, and it showed I have cysts in them. I am a 79-year-old female in good health. I take no medications except for eyedrops for glaucoma. My doctor tells me that the cysts are nothing to worry about. Should I be worried? – L.J. Listen to your doctor; you shouldn’t worry. Single or multiple small kidney cysts are found in many people, and they have no significance. They haven’t caused you a problem in 79 years, and they did not just show up in the recent past. They won’t cause you any problems in your next 79 years.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am an 88-year-old male. Last year, when I complained that, at times, I was getting short of breath, my doctor had me take an echocardiogram. The results indicated that I had mild to moderate insufficiencies. I haven’t seen this mentioned in your columns, and thought that you might discuss this problem and how it is treated. – T.G. An echocardiogram, also called an ultrasound, is a soundwave picture of the heart. It shows heart valves well, and it shows how they’re working. Mild to moderate insufficiency of a heart valve is another way of saying that the valve has a leak. The heart has four valves. One valve is the aortic valve. Once the heart pumps blood out, it closes to prevent blood from coming back into the heart. With a leaky aortic valve, blood does re-enter the heart. A mild to moderate leak isn’t all that bad. It might not be the cause of your shortness of breath. I take it that your doctor doesn’t feel it’s significant, or he would have done something about it. Hearts can have other kinds of insufficiencies, like an insufficient supply of blood. And valves other than the aortic valve can develop a leak. So I’m not positive that my answer is applicable to your case, but I think I have addressed the most likely issue.

Venison steaks – served here over smashed cauliflower – should be kept rare to avoid drying it out.

Oh, deer! Venison steak recipe also works for bison or beef BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

lympic biathlon competitors don’t generally aim for deer when they ski and shoot, but accidents happen, right? These assertively seasoned venison steaks also can be made using bison or beef. Like most game, venison is lean; keep it rare to avoid drying it out.

Venison Steaks Over Smashed Cauliflower

1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon garlic powder Salt and ground black pepper 1 to 1 1/2 pounds venison loin or tenderloin, cut into 4 steaks Two 1-pound packages frozen cauliflower 2 tablespoons water 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup heavy cream Salt and ground black pepper In gallon-size zip-close plastic bag, mix the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Use paper towels to pat dry the steaks, then add them to the bag of seasonings, shaking to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon dried thyme

When ready to cook, coat the grates of a grill with oil or cooking spray. Heat the grill to medium-high. Sear the steaks for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part reads 130 degrees (for mediumrare). Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, to prepare the cauliflower, place it and the water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, or until completely tender. Drain any excess water from the bowl. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a potato masher, beat or smash the cauliflower. Add the Parmesan and cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the venison.

If it’s gumbo, you gotta have okra BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This gumbo, packed with meat and seafood, is a culinary trip to New Orleans.

f you didn’t get down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that doesn’t mean you can’t eat like you’re there. This speedy version of gumbo is prepared in two pans. Combined at the end, the two parts have all the flavor of the traditional hearty dish. If you have the opportunity, letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight will seriously improve the flavors. While there are many different styles of gumbo across the South – including variations between Creole and Cajun – okra is a must-have ingredient (among other things, it serves as a thickener) of this meat- and seafoodrich stew. Most grocers sell chopped or whole okra in the freezer section.

Fast and Intense Gumbo 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 2 small) 3/4 cup chopped celery (about 3 stalks) 1 pound okra, chopped 14 1/2-ounce can diced roasted tomatoes with chilies 1 3/4 cups water 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon sugar Salt and ground black pepper 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced into rounds 1 pound crab meat Juice of half a lemon 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce In a large, heavy saucepan over medium, melt 1/4 cup of the butter. Stir in the flour and

cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a deep brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, onion, celery and okra. Continue to cook until the onion is translucent and the okra is stringy, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water, thyme, sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet over medium-high, melt the remaining butter. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and the steak. Sear the beef, turning occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and saute until pink, about 2 minutes. Add the sausage, crab, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to heat through. The mixtures can be combined in one pan to form the traditional stewlike dish, or the meat and seafood can be served over the vegetable mixture.

Cy the Cynic’s dummy play is only fair overall, but he’s a master of end plays. Cy says you should never put off until tomorrow what you can get somebody to do for you today. Cy was today’s East, trying to beat five clubs, and West led a spade. (Had West but known, he’d have led a heart.) South ruffed the second spade, drew trumps and led a heart to the queen. The Cynic won and exited with a heart. South then cashed his winners but lost a diamond to Cy’s queen at the end. “Cold as Manitoba,” Cy muttered. Should South make his game? LAST SPADE South succeeds by getting Cy to do his work. After South ruffs the second spade and draws trumps, he ruffs dummy’s last spade and takes the A-K of diamonds. The queen doesn’t fall, but South then exits with a diamond. When Cy wins, he is end-played. If he leads a spade, South pitches a heart, ruffs in dummy and pitches another heart on the good 13th diamond. If instead Cy leads a heart, South gets

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 29; Paris Hilton, 29; Kelly Carlson, 34; Billie Joe Armstrong, 38 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Take control and offer leadership. Put your ideas to the test. You should not back down from anything or anyone. You have insight into what you must do to make things work to your benefit. A passionate approach to whatever you do will help you gain respect and support. Your numbers are 4, 10, 16, 25, 27, 30, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be tempted to blurt out how you feel and make moves that you will regret. You will do far better putting your energy into helping or entertaining instead of complaining. Put stubbornness aside. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid getting involved in any formalities with authority figures who can influence what you can and cannot do. Bend and give a little. A democratic approach to whatever you want will far surpass trying to bully someone into something. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do things because you want to do them, not because someone else is involved. Show your enthusiasm by offering your services but don’t let others take advantage of you. Don’t let emotional stress stand in your way. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have so much going for you and, if you show a little restraint when it comes to your sensitivity and emotions, you will impress the people around you with your capabilities. Don’t let an added responsibility at home stand in the way of professional productivity. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can formulate your ideas and start the process of getting things rolling. Don’t get angry with someone for not wanting to take part in your plans. Any indiscretion with money matters will meet with opposition. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be tempted to make a fast move, due to emotional reasons, that will disrupt your home life and future. Love is in the stars but you must move slowly and nurture the relationship if you want it to be lasting. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let depression get you down; get moving. There is a lot to be gained through networking and socializing with people in the same industry as you. Your ideas will be respected if you share them with colleagues. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You cannot fix some of the personal things going on in your life right now, but you can focus on making the right changes for a brighter future. It’s a waste of time to get angry. Travel will bring you greater clarity. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be feeling optimistic about your surroundings but, before you empty the baggage you brought with you, think about what you have left unfinished. You should probably backtrack and clear the air with someone before you move on. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you rely too heavily on others, you will fall short of your goals. You should be putting more effort into your past and present relationships. You cannot move forward until you have taken care of unfinished business. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be honest with yourself and others if you want to make positive moves. Embrace what ails you and get rid of any habits that have been stagnating your life. You’ll meet someone special while tending to your problems. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pushing too hard will cause problems in an important partnership. The more open you are about your likes, dislikes and needs, the better the reception you will receive. Romantic opportunities will develop. ★★★

The real property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Foreclosure Sale of Real Property is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS, WHERE IS.“ Neither the Substitute Trustee nor the Holder of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust being foreclosed, nor the officers, directors, attorneys, employees, agents or authorized representative of either the Substitute Trustee or the Holder of the indebtedness make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions, existing in, on, at or relating to the real property being offered for sale, and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition expressly are disclaimed.

High Point’s Heather Richardson reacts after the second of two heats of the women’s 500 meter race at the Richmond Olympic Oval at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia on Tuesday. Richardson finished sixth and has two more events to skate – the 1,000 and the 1,500.

What a start!

Richardson places sixth in 500 ENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

RICHMOND, British Columbia – High Point’s Heather Richardson battled her nerves prior to Tuesday’s 500 meters at the Winter Olympics. She won that battle with no problem and nearly medaled in the process. Richardson, a High Point Central graduate, finished sixth in the 500 at the Vancouver Games. Her time of 77.17 seconds over the two runs left her just .54 hundredths of a second out of bronze-medal position. “I was definitely nervous going into my first race, but I calmed myself down and just had fun with it,” Richardson said. “I nailed my start both times. I was shooting for top 15, so sixth is amazing. It’s my best 500-meter finish.” South Korea, meanwhile, won another stunning gold at the Olympic

speedskating oval Tuesday as Lee Sang-hwa knocked off two favorites. German world-record holder Jenny Wolf and China’s Wang Beixing came in expecting to battle for top spot on the podium, having swept all eight 500 races during the World Cup season. But Lee held off Wolf by fivehundredths of a second, winning with a total time of 1 minute, 16.09 seconds. Wolf had the fastest time in the second race, but it wasn’t enough to erase Lee’s lead from the first heat, leaving the German with a silver at 1:16.14. Wang took the bronze in 1:16.63. Lee’s victory gave South Korea a sweep of the 500s. Mo Tae-bum captured gold in the men’s race a day earlier and is expected to be one of the top challengers to American world-record holder Shani Davis in today’s 1,000. Richardson, who made

America’s Heather Richardson (left) and Japan’s Shihomi Shinya skate during the first of two heats in the women’s 500 meters at the Richmond Olympic Oval at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia on Tuesday. the inline-to-ice transition in 2007 and expects to make a bigger splash at the Sochi Games in 2014, was thrilled and excited as she looked ahead to Thursday’s 1,000 meters. “The 1,000 is definitely

my best race,” she said. “With a great 500 effort I’m looking forward to a great 1,000. “People back home motivated me and that helps out a lot. They sent me messages on Facebook

and I checked it (Tuesday) morning.” The other Americans were far back: Elli Ochowicz was 17th, four-time Olympian Jennifer Rodriguez 21st and Lauren Cholewenski 30th.

Delaney scores 31 as Hokies trip Deacons BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Malcolm Delaney scored 10 of his 31 points in the decisive final seven minutes Tuesday night and Virginia Tech rallied past No. 23 Wake Forest 87-83. The Hokies (21-4, 8-3) remained unbeaten in

14 home games this season, moved into second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and got the kind of victory they sorely need down the stretch to help offset one of the nation’s weakest nonconference schedules.

Wake Forest (18-6, 8-4), which moved into the Top 25 for the first time this week, led most of the game until a 15-4 run by the Hokies pulled them even with 8:30 to play. Al-Farouq Aminu led Wake Forest with 25 points.

Tom Watson by a stroke in the Mitsubishi Electric Championship. Watson birdied the final two holes for the victory. On Sunday in Naples, Fla., Couples secured his first Champions title with a dramatic one-stroke victory over fellow “rookie” Tommy Armour III in the ACE Group Classic. Couples led by five shots at one point in the final round, then needed a 5-foot birdie at No. 17 and a tap-in par on 18 to wrap up the victory.

It marked his first victory since the 2003 Houston Open. Champions Tour execs hope it’s the first of many wins for Couples. This tour relies on star power to flourish. Remember that it started as the Senior Tour many years ago to enable Arnold Palmer’s legion of fans to cheer him in contention. Couples is no Palmer, but the 1992 Masters champion draws lots of fan interest. That may be just the ticket to give the Champions Tour a badly needed boost.

HIT AND RUN

he Champions Tour is pinning its hopes on a Couple of factors for better TV ratings and fan interest this season. Actually, the over-50 golf circuit’s success or struggles this season can be closely tied to one player – Fred Couples. Always one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour, the unflappable, sweet-swinging Couples has made an instant splash on the Champions Tour. The player known as “Boom Boom” earlier in his career finished second in his Champions debut in Hawaii last month, falling to

Raiders tame Bulldogs, clinch top seed for league tourney BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boys drew the No. 1 seed for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piedmont Athletic Conference tournament after the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game against conference cochamp Trinity in High Point on Tuesday. That was shortly after executing a beautifully drawn up game plan against the Bulldogs. The Raiders packed their defense in tight, daring Trinity to beat them from the perimeter, and the Bulldogs never made them change their minds. The result was a rousing 64-48 victory that gave both squads a 9-1 league record. Moments after the game, Andrews drew the top seed for the tournament, meaning the Raiders will play the Atkins/Randleman winner in the tournament semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Carver. Trinity will face the Carver/Wheatmore winner at 6 p.m. Thursday in the other semifinal. If the two squads meet again in the finals on Friday, the Bulldogs will have to find a way to knock down some shots from the outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We noticed on paper they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot a lot of outside jump shots,â&#x20AC;? Andrews coach James Abell noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time, (post player Matt) Watkins really hurt us, so we decided to let somebody else beat us.â&#x20AC;? The Bulldogs never could. Ethan Cox subbed in for Trinity and knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing after checking into the lineup midway through the second quarter. By that time, Andrews led 26-16 and was in complete control. Trinity didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit another 3 all night, and the Raiders held Watkins to 12 hardearned points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make some shots we should have,â&#x20AC;? Trinity coach Tim Kelly conceded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they hit some shots that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they would normally make.â&#x20AC;? Quan Stevenson led a balanced Andrews attack with 15 points. Showers added 14, Alex Smith and Darius Rogers had 11 apiece and Mark Johnson scored nine. Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Clausen poured in a game-high 17 with a variety of mid-range jumpers and nice post moves. Trinity finished the regular season at 20-4 overall, while Andrews finished 14-6.

Nets shock Bobcats CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If only the Nets could play the Bobcats more, the worst record in NBA history might not be in jeopardy. Courtney Lee scored 21 points, Devin Harris added 17 and New Jersey never trailed in beating Charlotte 103-94 on Tuesday night for only its fifth win of the season.

Two of them have come against the Bobcats. Brook Lopez added 16 points before fouling out for the energized Nets (5-48), who snapped an eight-game losing streakand moved ahead of the pace of the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished 9-73. Gerald Wallace scored 21 points for the Bobcats.

Another Olympic flub by Jacobellis; U.S. hockey wins THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lindsey Jacobellis had to do it. Flying through the air toward the finish line, she reached down and grabbed her snowboard, the same showoff move that cost her a gold medal four years ago. This time, it was all she could do to salvage something worthwhile following another Olympic flub. Jacobellis wobbled after landing a jump early in a snowboardcross semifinal, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regain control and clipped a gate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DQ. She threw up her arms helplessly, then dropped her hands onto her helmet in anguish. She was way back when her competitors crossed the finish line but finished the run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a flourish. Last time, she at least got a silver medal as a consolation prize. This time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only be a picture. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snowboardcross start was delayed by fog and rain on Cypress Mountain that also shortened training for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halfpipe. Heavy snow on Blackcomb Mountain forced the postponement of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super-combined race and scrapped womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downhill training. So much of the focus Tuesday shifted indoors to the two sports Canadians care about most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hockey and curling. Led by a collection of young NHL players, the U.S. men got their tournament off to a decent enough start with a 3-1 victory over Switzerland. The victory itself is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant because four

years ago the Americans tied Latvia in the opener and never really got going. Sidney Crosby and the rest of the host nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite sons were taking the ice next, against Norway. The U.S. women were playing Russia later in the afternoon, too. Over at the curling venue, 11 matches were scheduled, two featuring the U.S. men and another with the women. The men lost their opener to Germany 7-5. With three of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five medals already decided, the United States remained atop the leaderboard with eight, but France was closing in with seven. Switzerland has the most gold with three; Americans have won two.

SNOWBOARDCROSS With Jacobellis out of the finals, Maelle Ricker won Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second gold of the Vancouver Olympics. Jacobellis won the consolation race to go down as the fifth-place finisher.

U.S. MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HOCKEY Bobby Ryan scored late in the first period, and David Backes and Ryan Malone added goals in the second period. Ryan Miller was solid in the net â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although he was missing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miller Timeâ&#x20AC;? painted on his mask, forced to cover it with tape. Despite the lack of NHL talent and household names outside of Switzerland, the Swiss club is considered dangerous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; largely because of goalie Jonas Hiller.

ALPINE DELAYS

happy to see the snowstorm as any kid who gets a snow day home from school. No time on the slopes means more time to rest her bruised shin, which she especially needs after a bumpy training run Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll for sure be racing tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? her husband, Thomas Vonn, told The Associated Press. Vonn said his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shin was â&#x20AC;&#x153;definitely sore today, much more sore than it had been in a couple of days.â&#x20AC;? The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event remains scheduled for today, so all she missed was more training, which she also couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve skipped. But the wipeout means her foes canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gain an advantage by getting more familiar with the course. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super-combined has been rescheduled for Sunday. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giant slalom was supposed to be Sunday has been shifted to next Tuesday, Feb. 23. Dry weather is forecast for today, Thursday and Friday. Of the four Alpine races scheduled so far, only the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downhill has been held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation is challenging,â&#x20AC;? race director Guenter Hujara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are quite optimistic. We still have quite a few days in reserve. We will use them if necessary.â&#x20AC;?

CURLING U.S. men curlers better start sweeping faster. Or slower. They need to do something different to turn around the missed scoring chances that cost them against a strong German squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those weird

MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HOCKEY Norway was without its only NHL player for its Olympic opener Tuesday against Canada. Defenseman Ole Kristian Tollefsen, who was recently traded from Philadelphia to Detroit, was delayed by a family illness and was arriving in Vancouver too late to make the game. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to play Thursday, when Norway plays the United States.

BIATHLON The biggest winner in Olympic biathlon history remains stuck on nine medals. It mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been gone up to 10, but Ole Einar Bjoerndalen went from being perfect in shooting to missing his last two pulls of the trigger in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12.5-kilometer biathlon pursuit. The Norwegian great started 17th and wound up seventh. Bjorn Ferry of Sweden won, and Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vincent Jay added bronze to the gold he won in the 10K sprint. The top American was Jeremy Teela at 24th; he started ninth. Magdalena Neuner of Germany and Anastazia Kuzmina of Slovakia finished 1-2 in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-kilometer pursuit, a reversal of their finish in the 7.5-kilometer sprint. Sara Studebaker was the top American, finishing 46th.

field will be eliminated. Ogilvy is among three champions who were not among the top 50 seeds. He was No. 52 when he won in 2006, while Steve Stricker was No. 55 in 2001 and Kevin Sutherland was No. 62 a year later. Strickerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes have changed mightily, and he comes into this Match Play Championship as the No. 1 seed, but only because Tiger Woods has not returned from his indefinite leave. Phil Mickelson also is taking the week off for a family holiday that previously was postponed because of his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment for breast cancer. For the top-seeded Stricker, it starts with Ross McGowan of England, in the first round. Lee Westwood is the No. 2 seed and plays Chris Wood in an All-England match, while thirdseeded Jim Furyk plays former Ryder Cup teammate Scott Verplank and fourth-seeded Martin Kaymer faces Chad Campbell. Ogilvy, who won the season-opening PGA Tour event at Kapalua, is the No. 10 seed and opens with Alexander Noren of Sweden. Along with his two victories, Ogilvy lost in the championship match three years ago and was beaten in the first round in 2008. His overall record is 17-2.

$!9 Raiders agree to new deal with Janikowski 4!8 2%&5.$ ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sebastian Janikowski and the Oakland Raiders agreed on a $16 million, four-year deal Tuesday that is the richest contract for a kicker in NFL history, the team said. Janikowski will be guaranteed $9 million in the deal, a person familiar with the contract said on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce terms. ESPN first reported the contract Tuesday. Janikowski is coming off the best season of his 10-year career. He made 26 of 29 field goals, with his only misses from 45, 57 and 66 yards.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Geoff Ogilvy has not played a competitive round of golf in nearly a month. His heart is still at home, where his wife gave birth to their third child less than a week ago. At any other tournament, it might not be the ideal preparation to defend a title. The Match Play Championship is different. Ogilvy came to this event in 2006 at La Costa feeling good about his game. Ten times that week, he watched an opponent stand over a putt to eliminate him. By the end of the week, he was holding the trophy. A year ago at Dove Mountain, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure he could get his first tee shot in the fairway. He struggled through the first two rounds, got better as the week went on, and in the championship match felt it was the best he had ever played. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this week doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go well, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be because of how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing today,â&#x20AC;? Ogilvy said Tuesday on the eve of the first World Golf Championship of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be because someone plays better than me.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it is in golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most fickle format. Stories abound of players who make seven birdies and lose, and players who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any and win. It all starts today on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain, when half of the 64-man

BofA customer satisfaction plummets MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – In a year marred by controversy over its Merrill Lynch & Co. acquisition, Bank of America Corp.’s customer satisfaction slumped by 8 percent to the lowest level among big banks, according to an annual report from a national customer service tracker. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo & Co. saw its customer satisfaction rating climb 1.4 percent after buying Wachovia Corp., although its numbers were lower than the Charlotte bank’s past marks. Wells Fargo had the highest rating among big banks, though smaller

BRIEFS

–

Kraft Foods profit more than triples NORTHFIELD, Ill. – Kraft Foods Inc. said Tuesday its fourthquarter profit more than tripled on strength in developing markets and continued benefits from its restructuring plan to focus more on its money-making products. The food maker, which is buying British candy maker Cadbury, said it expects long-term earnings growth at the high end of its previous guidance.

Foreign demand for securities falls WASHINGTON – The government said Tuesday that foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities fell by the largest amount on record in December with China reducing its holdings by $34.2 billion. The reductions in holdings, if they continue, could force the government to make higher interest payments at a time that it is running record federal deficits.

EU eyes different approach on banks BRUSSELS – Europe’s new financial services chief signaled differences with the U.S. over how to overhaul banking regulations, saying he wants binding rules on pay and rejecting as wrong for Europe President Barack Obama’s plans to limit banks’ size and risky trading. In his first press conference since taking office, Frenchman Michel Barnier said he wants “binding rules on remuneration throughout the financial sector.” He didn’t give a time frame for making detailed proposals, which would have to be approved by EU governments and the European parliament.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

banks and credit unions scored higher. The American Customer Satisfaction Index provides annual customer satisfaction scores for companies and industries on a 100point scale, with 100 representing the best performance. The numbers for banks and credit unions were based on customer evaluations in the fourth quarter of 2009. Bank of America saw its score from 73 to 67, for its lowest mark since 2000. Two other big banks, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., fared only a little better, receiving 68’s. Although Merrill Lynch customers weren’t part of the survey, the deal brought financial stress to

Bank of America and significant cost-cutting, said David VanAmburg, director of the ACSI, based in Ann Arbor, Mich. “That kind of cost-cutting can have a ripple effect over all of the company,” VanAmburg said. Bank of America spokeswoman Anne Pace said the bank couldn’t comment on a report it hadn’t seen, although she said the bank is “listening very carefully to what our customers are telling us, and investing more in helping them stay in control of their finances and feel confident in their spending and budgeting decisions.” The bank has made changes to overdraft fees and has issued

simplified mortgage and credit card statements. From 2001 to 2008, Wachovia was the top-rated large bank in the ACSI, but it dropped out this year after the Wells Fargo acquisition. Wells’ score, which included Wachovia customers, climbed from 72 to 73, for the San Francisco bank’s best-ever showing. Wachovia scored a 76 in 2008 and peaked at 80 in 2006. Wells, not surprisingly, benefited from the addition of Wachovia’s more satisfied customers, VanAmburg said. Wells is going slow with the integration, so the real test of the merger’s performance will come in the next couple of years, he said.

Greece faces deadline BRUSSELS (AP) – Greece has only days to explain its use of complex financial deals that it used to mask debt and just a month to prove that its drastic budget cuts go far enough to reassure markets – and other EU governments reluctant to bail Athens out if it can’t pay its bills. The Greek crisis has plunged the 16 nations that use the euro into a crisis by breaking rules on debt and deficit that underpin Europe’s currency union amid worries that its problems could be even bigger because its public finance figures cannot be trusted.

The EU’s top economy official, Olli Rehn, said Tuesday that he wanted the Greek government to supply answers by Friday on how it used currency swaps and how that affected debt and deficit figures. European Union finance ministers on Tuesday also gave Greece a deadline of March 16 to show that it can make big spending cuts to bring its deficit down from the EU’s highest, 12.7 percent, to 8.7 percent this year. They said in a statement that this was essential to “remove the risk of jeopardizing the proper

Gas prices hit 2010 low NEW YORK (AP) – Motorists are still getting a break at the pump, as gasoline pump prices continued their monthlong slide on Tuesday, dropping to a new low for 2010. But that may not last. Oil prices spiked along with wholesale gasoline prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Retail gasoline prices hit a nationwide average of $2.61 per gallon and fell below $2.40 in parts of the country; including Ohio, Oklahoma and Missouri, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Prices are now 16 cents below the Jan. 15 peak, but still 64.5 cents above year-ago levels. Motorists spend

about $953 million per day on fuel, down from about $1 billion per day last month, according to OPIS’ Tom Kloza. The typical motorist uses about 50 gallons of fuel per month, which would cost about $130 at current prices. Prices have been particularly cheap in the Midwest where weak consumption coupled with less expensive winter gasoline blends pushed wholesale prices to a range of $1.75 to $1.85 per gallon last week, Kloza said. Oil prices jumped on Tuesday as the dollar weakened and stock markets climbed on upbeat economic news. Benchmark crude for March delivery rose $2.87 to $77 a barrel on the Nymex.

functioning of economic and monetary union.” Eurozone nations – who have pledged to provide a financial bailout to Greece if needed – said they would demand new spending cuts, higher value-added taxes and fuel taxes and new taxes on luxury goods, including cars, if Greece can’t make the deficit reductions it is promising. Greece now has a month to show that it can make real savings from a freeze on public sector salaries, cuts to bonuses and stipends and promises to reform pensions and health care.

Toyota to idle two plants WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota said Tuesday it plans to idle production temporarily at assembly plants in Texas and Kentucky while it grapples with massive recalls in the United States. Toyota spokesman Mike Goss said a plant in San Antonio, Texas, has scheduled production breaks for the weeks of March 15 and April 12. A plant in Georgetown, Ky., has scheduled a non-production day on Feb. 26 and may not produce vehicles on three more days in March and April, Goss said.

Stocks gain on corporate earnings, deals NEW YORK (AP) – Signs that the economy is indeed strengthening gave investors a surge of optimism and sent stocks sharply higher. The Dow Jones industrials soared almost 170 points Tuesday on upbeat earnings reports and corporate deals. Investors who have been anxious in recent weeks about economic problems overseas were able to put aside their concerns for the time being. They focused instead on the domestic economy. The dollar fell as investors felt less of a need to stash their money in safer investments. Oil, gold and

other commodities joined stocks as the beneficiaries of the market’s renewed confidence. And the stocks of energy and materials producers were among the day’s big winners. European markets also rose following new plans by European Union leaders to push Greece to get its budget under control. European officials gave Greece one month to prove it can cut its deficits. Debt problems in European countries including Greece, Portugal and Spain have been a major factor behind weakness in global stock markets in recent weeks.

Canada tightens mortgage lending rules TORONTO – Canada is tightening mortgage lending rules as historic low rates are raising fears of a potential housing bubble. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Tuesday there is no compelling evidence of a bubble but says the government is taking proactive measures to prevent one. To qualify for a government-insured mortgage, borrowers will have to meet the standards for a five-year fixed-rate mortgage – up from the current standard for three years.

Sears orders retraining on credit card orders HOUSTON – Workers at more than 2,100 Sears and Kmart stores nationwide will be retrained on handling credit card transactions. KHOU-TV reports some station workers recently visited Sears stores in the Houston area and bought items. One employee made purchases with a credit card belonging to another station worker, whose name was on the card, in the undercover investigation. KHOU reported Monday that store employees did not verify that the signature on the card matched the one signed on the receipt. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

A strong earnings report from Barclays, a major European bank, also gave the market some relief. European banks have been slower to recover than their U.S. counterparts, and investors saw the bounceback at Barclays as an encouraging sign. In the U.S., Kraft Foods Inc. and apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch reported earnings that beat expectations, while drugmaker Merck & Co. said profits jumped after the company bought its longtime partner ScheringPlough Corp.

FCC chairman calls for faster Internet access WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation’s top telecommunications regulator says he wants 100 million U.S. households to have access to have ultra-high-speed Internet connections by 2020. Speaking in Washington on Tuesday, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said those connections should be 100 megabits per second, several times faster than most home connections now. He also wants the U.S. to establish testbed networks to experiment with even higher broadband speeds.

A District of Columbia crew removes snow in Washington during continuing cleanup efforts after last week’s record-breaking blizzard.

Chicago street crews lead at snow removal CHICAGO (AP) – The forecast: a mighty winter blizzard sure to dump a record-setting blanket of snow that will grow from inches to feet overnight, just in time for rush hour. When it happened this month in Washington, they called it “Snowpocalypse” and an overwhelmed city couldn’t keep its streets clear. When it happened last week in Chicago, they called it “Tuesday” and kept the blacktop black

from first flakes to final drifts. “I’d take my plow drivers and put them up against anyone in North America,” said Bobby Richardson, Chicago’s snow removal boss. “Ten inches, a foot of snow? That’s nothing for us. Nothing.” That’s not the case outside of Chicago and other cities in the American snow belt, where the strategy for cleaning the streets of winter’s wrath is often based on a calculated risk that snow

won’t fall where snow usually doesn’t. Most years, that gamble pays off. But this winter, historic blizzards have struck cities where trafficsnarling snowfalls are rare or even unheard of, exposing the dangers of counting on the Big One not to hit. “You won’t see bare pavement for at least three weeks – and that’s if we don’t get another snow next week,” said Steve Shannon with the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Security office apologizes to boy told to remove leg braces PHILADELPHIA – The Transportation Security Administration has apologized to a boy allegedly forced to take off his leg braces during screening at Philadelphia International Airport. Bob Thomas, a po-

lice officers in Camden, N.J., says it happened in March when he and his wife were flying to Orlando, Fla., with their 4-year-old son, Ryan. The boy wears leg braces because he is developmentally delayed.

Thomas says a screener told the family the boy had to take off his braces. TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis says the agency’s regional security director apologized to the Thomases on Friday.
